A lot of discussion went between the judges and Sir Ollivander over this Challenge.  It gets more difficult with fewer stories to vote upon.  But in the end, one was either on one side or the other side.  For the categories won, it was overwhelming.  No middle ground.  Except for the People’s Choice, which was a separation of votes of only 8%!  And now the winners….

The award for Best Overall and Best Drama goes to:

The Stone of Truth by Manwe Valarian

The award for Best Legalese and the People’s Choice Award goes to:

Is Draco Malfoy a Git? by Northumbrian

The winning stories are now prominently listed in our Featured Stories section.  The 2011-3 Challenge will start in JULY, a small change in the scheduling.  I’m sure you can whistle that tune.

I would like to thank my many judges who worked hard for this Challenge: BP, CM, CW, EB, JM, NS, P. RS, RW, SM? & WM.  You know who you are. Thank you very much for all that reading and judging. Your time to help out is quite valuable. The Challenge would not exist if nobody judged them.  Numerous judges correctly picked the winners.  Good show!

Some authors have asked if I would tell them how well they did in the judging. If you wish, e-mail me and I will tell you your results.
